The Old Academy of Music opened its doors 145 years ago.

The generosity of Mária Anna Kerényi has given the Liszt Ferenc Memorial Museum and Research Centre a new graphic entitled Magyar Rapszódia [Hungarian Rhapsody], created by graphic artist György Ruzicskay.

Our partner institution, the Liszt Festival Albano, is a major cultural event in Italy. In November, the following concerts will take place as part of the festival.

A life-size bust and a photograph of Franz Liszt, made shortly before his death on his last trip to England in April 1886, have been added to the institution's collection, and were presented at the opening of this year's Liszt Birthday Festival. For many years now, the Liszt Birthday Festival has become a tradition organised by the Liszt Academy and the Liszt Museum to commemorate the anniversary of the birth of Franz Liszt.
